Bingo!
Once you strip out all the rainy or high wind days on a short boating season.....the perfect days would probably amount to maybe 70 or 80 per year. I could drive about 4 or 5 hours up to Grand Bay in neighboring New Brunswick to rent a boat....even a house boat but I like the ocean. Around here we are limited to canoe rentals. Wife wouldn't like that on the ocean.


I had an IBM friend in one of those boat co-ops and the only reason it
worked for him was we had a very loose schedule policy so he could
work weekends and take 2 days off in the middle of the week. Even
then, in the season he couldn't get a boat every time he wanted it and
sometimes the available boat was not what he wanted.
